About this course:

This class explores locations that are not generally accessible to the public. In-person visits focus on private collections, artist's studios, and curator-led gallery tours of current exhibitions. Insights into collecting, the business of art, and the importance of art in a designed environment (such as a home, retail, or hospitality location) are discussed. Each meeting includes multiple locations and guest speakers from the art world. Tours, examination of work, and discussions are held in person.
